Mathilde Lerouge is in charge of the savoury dishes, while Franck takes care of desserts: this gifted couple crafts seasonal fare poised between tradition and modernity. Meals are served alfresco on the patio beneath exposed rafters or in one of the airy dining rooms. Stand-outs include duck breast in a chorizo-flavoured veggie sauce or a fresh perspective on vitello tonnato with Cranberry beans and a watercress coulis. Franck’s dessert lineup is proof of his time spent in starred establishments. It is everything you would expect from a French country inn and surrounded by stunning scenery.
